From the PrincipalDear Trailside Families,We are in the home stretch of the 2021-2022 school year. We have a little over a month of school and this is when we must hold on tight as there are many activities for each grade level. We are so excited to be able to host many of them again. We are planning for field day, family BBQ, 6th grade moving on, 6th-grade band and orchestra concerts, and many other grade-level specific activities.April brings warmer weather but also a lot of water on the playground. Please send students with rubber boots if you can as it will help them stay dry for the afternoon. We still have a lot of winter gear in lost and found. If you want to come check if any of your child's items are there, swing by and check-in at the office and take a look. At the end of the school year, we either wash it and put it in the closet for students to borrow or we donate it.Please let the office know if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to helpHeather Jones, PrincipalTrailside Elementary School

Mural for the Apple Orchard
In January, local artist Cheryl Chesnut from Spreading Tree Studios worked with a small group of Trailside artists to create a mural that will be proudly displayed in our Apple Orchard in the spring. Thank you to Spreading Tree Studio and our amazing Trailside PTA for providing this opportunity for our students. The mural will be proudly displayed in the foyer until it is ready to move to the orchard. Check the mural out the next time you visit our school. See how many hidden objects you can find in the mural.Thank you to the 5th and 6th-grade artists (standing - left to right) Adina, Adele. Cheryl and (sitting - left to right) Adelynn, Kleian, Morgan, and Niobe.Not pictured: Logan, Adigan, Maggie, and AnnDid you know that there are 63 apple trees planted in our orchard? Also, the gravity irrigation system installed in 2020 makes the process of watering the orchard much easier. It used to take 2 1/2 to 3 hours to water the orchard. With the help of the irrigation system, it takes around 15 to 20 minutes. -
